Wait, so JLG dies, there's at least a month of added focus on his work and yet he casually drops 10 spots. Either we are completely protected against buzz, chatter and events within film culture or some voters rewatched a few of his films and were left less impressed.

(or, 1 big Godard fan chose not to vote)

The latter. More like two voters who ranked JLG high last time did not participate this time around.

Top 20 will be revealed tomorrow.

With Bresson dropping, I was getting worried here.

We need to get Adam voting soon.

[beasterne]

Ozu will probably make my list the next time we do one of these polls. I've only seen two of his films, but I loved Late Spring and I'm sure as I see more I'll have more confidence in placing him on my ballot.
